One of my favorite places to be is Nova Express, a space-themed restaurant in LA. The environment is entirely mellow, almost hypnotic, with their spacey music, low lighting, and the dim glow of lava lamps and black lights. A giant alien hangs in the corner of the restaurant, the beauty being that the owner made it himself. Genius. On top of the environment being perfect, their food is outstanding; I highly recommend their pizza because the crust is to die for. It has a hint of honey in it-- it's the most unique, delicious pizza i've ever tasted. It's open from 7pm-2am Monday-Thursday, and 7pm-FOUR A.M.! from Friday-Sunday, making it the most ideal place to go for a night out (or, as I did-- to study astronomy in a conducive atmosphere). They often have live bands playing there, and there are even book clubs that meet there on a regular basis. On top of all that, the staff is great too! They're all so relaxed and nice. And again-- the food. Tonight I had cheesecake with fresh berries, and it was incredible.
Bonus: Nova means new star.

in Spanish "No va" means "it doesn't go."
which is okay for a restaurant, b/c you can take that to mean it's going to stick around for years and years, however, the Ford Nova is frequently the butt of hispanic ridicule, I'd imagine.
why is it going? that's sooo sad! i liked that place....:( kinda remids me of the people i work for. they have alien stuff all over the place. the guy is really artsy/nerdy like nova's owner...
